Rehinging Bi-Flagellar Locomotion in a Viscous Fluid
SaverioIV
443 views
This is the hydrodynamically optimal bi-flagellar locomotion at zero Reynolds number. At the end of each period shown, the hinge switches from one side to the other, and th...

Pitching Asymmetry in "Backward" Flapping Locomotion
SaverioIV
163 views
A rigid wing is driven at its leading edge (right). The body rotates due to fluid forces and a restorative torque (spring). The horizontal motion is also set by the fluid f...

Shape Changing in an Oscillating Fluid
SaverioIV
188 views
A body may ratchet upward against gravity by changing shape in an oscillating fluid. Basic mechanism is shown via vorticity shedding, compared to a fixed body (after a ramp...
